HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE!
It was another exciting week around here. It started last Saturday. Daughter #1 and her family went to a wildlife park in Wisconsin Dells. She loves sloths and her significant other of 16 years bought her a Sloth Experience where she was able to pet and feed it.
Then this happened!
Followed by
Their friends joked that they hoped they weren’t rushing into anything.
The boys are very excited too and we learned they could really keep a secret as this plan had been in the works for some time. So now we have two weddings in our future.
Then things calmed down around here, you know reading, blogging, and book tours. Until Friday when I had a follow-up appointment with my radiation oncologist and my Zometa infusion. The appointment went great. I am handling the Anastrozole well and feeling good, especially after the bone infection I had last year, which he learned about by looking at my records before my visit. We caught up on all the family news and then he told me he would see me next July. A whole year. Now to get the chemo oncologist on board. I see him in November after my next mammogram. The infusion didn’t go as smooth. The nurse had a hard time finding a vein so after 5 sticks they finally used one in my hand, ouch. But it only took about 20 minutes after that. Note to self, drink a lot more water before those infusions.
Shortly after we got home I got a call from Kaden. He had passed his driver’s school book test on Thursday and his mom took him to the DMV right after work on Friday! Behind-the-wheel training started yesterday with his mom and dad and will start with the instructor soon. Back in the olden days, Driver’s Ed was part of the high school curriculum, now it is done by private companies, and boy is it pricey. Also because of COVID, a driving test at the DMV is no longer required. An “adult sponsor” must certify they have completed the course work and have had 50 hours of supervised driving. So, as soon as he turns 16 I will have another wonderful driver to take me places and he can come visit anytime he wants. I am still wrapping my head around that I have a grandchild old enough to drive. 🙂

Congratulations to your daughter, that’s so exciting! And while I think sloths are fascinating I’m also like a little scared of them, but I don’t know why?! I also recently had blood taken and although she got it on the first go I still wasn’t prepared for it since it had been ages since my last one. I hope your other doctor gets on board and that you continue to respond well to the medication! I hope you have a good week 🙂

All the grandchildren milestones are a bit surprising, aren’t they? One of our granddaughters was visiting us during the months when she was supposed to be doing supervised driving so we let her practice while she was here.
